"I just wanted to continue working on my physique as I enter middle age. Training with Zoë was really great. She was motivating and always introduced new, interesting workouts that kept things fresh. I’ve learned different methodologies and improved my overall process in the gym. One of the best parts of training was all the laughter we shared. Zoë gave me a unique plan and became a friend who motivated me even when I was feeling down. I know I still need to focus more on mobility and stretching, even though I hate it. I would absolutely recommend training with Zoë. She is amazing."

Enzo Crescentini

"I wanted to get stronger for an upcoming knee surgery and eliminate back pain. My experience with training was excellent. I’ve become stronger with better durability, and one of the biggest wins was that my back pain is now gone. Zoë is a great listener. She set up goals based on both what she observed and what I wanted to achieve. While there’s always room to get stronger, I’ve made great progress. I would absolutely recommend training with Zoë. She listens, tailors the program to your abilities, and helps you work toward your personal goals."

Jill Turnbull

“I wanted to improve my consistency with working out and build my knowledge in the gym. The experience was great overall. The training was very flexible from a scheduling standpoint, and it was easy to shift the focus of training based on what we wanted to target. I felt more confident in the gym, learning how to pair exercises that complement each other. The program also helped me improve my strength and physique. My EVOLT 360 scans improved significantly over the last few months. Even without progress photos, those results were really reassuring. Zoë updated the program every eight weeks to reflect my goals, made the training enjoyable, and pushed me each week. She also helped with mobility and stretching, which I now regularly incorporate myself. I know I need to work on building out my own program, but Zoë has let me know she’ll still be a resource for that too. I would definitely recommend training with her. She’s personable, knowledgeable, and flexible. She works with you during each session and can adjust the plan on the fly. I was able to learn something new every week.”

Reece Troia

"I wanted to get back into shape and be healthier. Zoë was an excellent trainer who delivered noticeable results in toning and muscle strengthening. She was professional, easy to work with, and maintained clear communication throughout our sessions. Her ability to create a flexible workout program that fit my schedule was highly appreciated. Additionally, her friendly demeanor and thorough knowledge of fitness made each session enjoyable and effective. I noticed an increase in muscle strength and saw my weight go down while being able to lift heavier. Zoë helped me learn new workouts that supported my goals and encouraged me to attend more group classes. I would absolutely recommend Zoë to others. She offers excellent motivation, has a deep understanding of fitness and nutrition, and makes you feel comfortable and confident in achieving your fitness goals."

Lily Marku

“Scheduling sessions was a boost I needed to get back into an exercise routine. It was a great experience. Zoë was knowledgeable, flexible, personable, and explained the reason behind each exercise and how it would help me attain our pre established goals. I found a rhythm and schedule to start getting my fitness priorities back in line. Zoë made the experience a good one and worked to find exercises that I enjoy that still fit into our fitness plan.”

Rich Boggio

"I started training to improve my overall health, and it was a positive experience from the beginning. I gained strength and confidence in the gym, and Zoë consistently helped by modifying my form and offering helpful tips. I know continued consistency is key, and Zoë’s support makes that easier. I would absolutely recommend training with her. She genuinely cares, and it’s very evident during her sessions."

John Poules

"I had lost some weight and wanted to tone my body while improving my balance. Training with Zoë has been excellent. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and committed to helping you reach your fitness goals. My balance has improved tremendously, and I’ve noticed more muscle definition in my legs and arms. I remember in the beginning, lunges were such a struggle. I’d feel like I was tipping over and didn’t have the strength to get back up. Zoë kept me consistent, and one day I completed a full set almost effortlessly. She acknowledged how hard I had worked to get there, and that moment was awesome. In the past, I’d get discouraged at the gym and beat myself up for not performing perfectly. Zoë always redirected me toward the end goal and helped me stay motivated. I’d leave each session feeling empowered rather than defeated. There’s always room for growth. I’d like to come in one extra day each week and take advantage of more group classes. I would absolutely recommend training with Zoë. She goes above and beyond to make sure you’re on the right path and even helped me with hip and thoracic back issues by guiding me through stretches that improved my mobility. Thank you so much for helping me get on a path to better health."

Ivonne Ciaramitaro

"I started training because I wanted to get healthier, stronger, and improve my physique. It’s been good so far. I really like the flexibility in scheduling. I’ve noticed growth in different muscle groups and I’m looking forward to bulking to see how much stronger I can get compared to before. The list of workouts and weights helps push me. Before, I’d stop one or two reps early when I was tired, but now I try to match or beat what I’ve done. One of my biggest achievements has been deadlifting 355 pounds at my current weight of 147. I’ve never been this lean before, and when I was cutting years ago, I couldn’t hit that weight even in the high 150s. That was a big moment for me. Zoë has helped me focus on specific areas where I struggled or didn’t even realize I was struggling, and I’ve seen big improvements. I feel less pain during workouts, especially in my shoulders during chest exercises. I’m excited to start bulking mid-year and see how far I can go with all the progress I’ve made. One area I still want to improve is my hamstrings. They’ve gotten better, but I feel like I could go even heavier on deadlifts if I improve that initial leg drive. I’d definitely recommend training with Zoë. She’s great at picking up on what I want to target during a session, and she’s not a pushover. She makes sure the workouts challenge me every time."

Julian Gabrail

"I do not want to have fat on my belly to improve my health. Zoë was a very detailed trainer. She was always paying attention that I was doing the right form. She also explained the reason for the exercise, the impact, and a little bit of anatomy. Moreover, she was always cheerful, happy, easy to communicate with, kind, and open to engaging with people. I became visibly more muscular in my upper body. My pants size was reduced from 32 to 30, and 31 is very loose. I do not remember using pants that I lost since I was 12. I always run, but now my stamina has increased like never before. Zoë helped me to achieve my first pull-up in my life at the end of August 2024. This has kind of been a dream of mine since I thought I could never achieve it. Most of my life I’ve been fat and not very strong. However, she told me I could do it, and I was very close to it. She’s been an excellent trainer, as I mentioned before. Besides providing recommendations about diet and convincing me to eat protein powder, which significantly improved my energy, my results, and even my mood during the day. I think I would like to continue to increase my weight in my routine. However, I might need to reduce the training days since I was doing five days a week, two hours per day, and I doubt I can keep that up for the rest of my life. Absolutely. I would recommend Zoë. She really cares about getting you better and also your health. She wants to put a challenge on you, but not one so hard that your health is jeopardized. Besides, she is flexible with the schedule. I think she loves her work and likes people. She’s always willing to go the extra mile to provide tips, explanations, or just to chat as long as you are not busy."

Pedro Guzan Acosta

"I know exercises needed to help with all aspects of aging, but really never got into a good routine. I realized I needed help and decided to employ a personal trainer to help me work on my growing issues with arthritis, knee, and hip soreness and to increase mobility now as I age. Zoë was just wonderful. She made sure she was aware of my physical strength and stamina and addressed my issues by creating a custom routine for me. Zoë modified exercises that were painful to my hand issues or any other pain I was experiencing so I could continue my exercise goals without that pain. I feel tighter all over and more flexible. Often after I could feel that extra energy exercise can give. It was always a pleasure to work with Zoë. Her personality is wonderful. But I do remember feeling like I conquered something special when my least favorite exercise, a core on the floor exercise, seemed easy to me. Zoë got me into a routine that I’m trying to continue as long as I’m able. She’s a gift to work with. For me, it has improved as we are moving forward. I feel every day is different and so are my exercise needs. Take each day and try for that physical feeling of success. I definitely would recommend it. Kindness, caring, easygoing, quick thinking, flexible, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. What more could I have asked for a personal trainer?"

Judy Colaluca

"I started training because I was looking to learn new exercises and techniques. Zoë was a great instructor. She made the workouts challenging but also fun. I’ve been able to increase strength in specific areas thanks to new exercises she introduced me to, many of which I had never done before. The exercises she taught have already made a noticeable impact on my development. I would definitely recommend training with Zoë. She will push you but also make the experience enjoyable."

Stuart Crewdson

"I was sick of being fat-ish and lazy. I needed dad strength ASAP. Training with Zoë has been very good. I’ve noticed real muscle development and better endurance. One memorable moment was during upper body bodyweight training. I struggled a lot, and it really opened my eyes. It was great to have my limits pushed in a supportive way. Zoë introduced me to calisthenics and core stability work, which have both made a difference. She’s very nice and thoughtful when it comes to working out. I never felt judged when I couldn’t do something."

Daniel Christy

Self improvement was my main motivation for starting training. Zoë was the best trainer I have ever had. I’ve seen increased strength and lean muscle growth since we began working together. One of my proudest moments was reaching 315 on the bench press. Zoë has helped me reshape my workouts and my dieting to fit with my schedule and personal goals. She was patient yet thorough and taught me new perspectives on fitness. One area I’m still focusing on is putting a stronger emphasis on cardio and core. I would absolutely recommend Zoë to anyone looking to better themselves in the gym. She is a wonderful trainer who will create plans specific to you.

Aaron Keyes

"I wanted to get into better shape, both for my body and my overall health. My experience with Zoë was very good. She was a great motivator, super friendly, and always kind to me. I now feel confident knowing what I’m doing and how to work out correctly. Zoë did great, and there’s not really anything I’d change. She was amazing to work with. I would absolutely recommend her. She’s very easy to talk to, approachable, and truly wants to help you reach your goals. Zoë is just very good, knows her stuff, and wants to be your friend while helping you succeed in your gym life."

Lori Michael

"I wanted to get in better shape and live a healthy lifestyle. She switched up workouts to learn different exercises and was flexible with my schedule. I’m more flexible than before, in better overall shape, and more knowledgeable when it comes to exercises to fit into my routine. A memorable moment was every time we moved up in weight from the previous session. We were on schedule every Saturday. She kept me motivated not to let myself go during the weekdays and taught me enough to where I felt comfortable going to the gym without a trainer during the week. She’s flexible with your schedule and not only does she have you do the workouts, she teaches you what exercise helps with what body part."

Ali Gomez-Lopez

"I started training to improve my overall health. Zoë made it fun to work out every Wednesday, which kept me motivated and consistent. I’ve noticed improvements in both mobility and endurance. She often shared her own experiences and explained how they could help me, which made our sessions feel more personal and relatable. Zoë is a super motivator and always found unique ways to make our time fly by. I had never used a personal trainer before but I can honestly say my time with Zoë was money and time well spent and I would absolutely recommend her."

John Maloney

"I started training to improve my overall health, and the experience has been amazing. I’ve noticed more energy and less belly fat since starting. Zoë always motivated me to finish strong, even when I wanted to cheat. I’ve lost weight and gained strength thanks to her guidance. I would absolutely recommend training with her."

Jennifer Diop

"I started training to improve my overall fitness, balance, and strength. My experience with Zoë was excellent. I’ve seen an increase in both strength and flexibility, along with an overall improvement in my well-being. Zoë has definitely helped me work toward my goals. I know I need to be more consistent moving forward, but I would absolutely recommend training with her. Zoë is the best personal trainer I have seen."

Charles Turnbull

"I had just joined a new gym and was looking for guidance on different exercises and how to properly use various equipment available. Being someone who doesn’t relish going to the gym, Zoë was tremendously helpful when it came to getting more comfortable with different equipment. More than that, though, she’s a fantastic motivator and kept me accountable to the commitment I set out when I first started training with her. While working with Zoë, I experienced steady progress with my overall strength. I also learned a wide variety of exercises to target different muscle groups. It was always fun noticing different improvements I was making, whether it was more definition in my shoulders or reduced difficulty while doing walking lunges, which was always my favorite exercise—lol! Zoë has taught me so much in the time working with her. It’s because of her that I’m more comfortable around the gym and I have multiple workouts available to make sure I’m improving my overall fitness without injuring myself. I definitely still have improvements to make fitness wise. Work balance for me has always been very heavy on the work side for a while. I’m hoping that a recent job is going to help with that, at which point I’ll be ready to apply all that I’ve learned with Zoë. I would totally recommend Zoë. She’s been great at working with me at my level, whether it be with exercises themselves or making adjustments based on any pain or fatigue I was experiencing. Aside from being a personal trainer, Zoë is a great person. We always had fun while training. We were always sharing stories and fun facts during our sessions. It was a blast!"

David Soranno

"I really just wanted to be the healthiest version of myself. I had pushed off getting back into the gym for years and made excuses to justify it. Eventually, I grew tired of the way I looked and felt, and I knew I needed to make a lifestyle change. The experience has been truly great. When starting a fitness journey, there will undoubtedly be many questions and learning experiences. Having a professional trainer to help guide you is something I found to be extremely valuable. Simply put, one small step leads to another, and over time those small steps take you a long way toward your goals. I started this journey wanting to gain more muscle mass and strength, and not only did I accomplish that, but I also made progress in ways I didn’t expect. This became more than just working out. It became a total lifestyle shift. I began eating cleaner, reading nutrition labels, and focusing on a more holistic diet. My mind-muscle connection improved, and I became more intentional with every workout. Most importantly, my overall confidence grew tremendously as I proved to myself that I could do anything I put my mind to. I remember struggling with barbell back squats early on, a common issue for new lifters, but Zoë was incredibly helpful. Through her coaching, I improved my form and gained confidence under the bar, ultimately making the lift safer and more effective. Zoë brings not only expertise in health and fitness, but also a non-judgmental, compassionate approach that helps her clients achieve goals they might not have believed possible. From day one, she offered her time, knowledge, and patience—not just in teaching exercises but in assessing progress and guiding me toward my goals. With her help, I’ve lost body fat, built muscle, and gained the confidence that I’m training effectively. I now see fitness as a lifelong journey, not a destination, and I believe there’s always room for growth in all areas. Without hesitation, I would absolutely recommend Zoë. She brings not only knowledge and experience, but an unwavering commitment to her clients’ success. Professional, compassionate, and truly passionate about her work, Zoë is the epitome of what a fitness coach should be."

Forest Burr

"My goal was to maintain good muscle tone, strength, weight, and overall health as I continue through my 70s and beyond. I hope to spare myself from ever being relegated to any sort of elder care or extended care environment. I really enjoyed having her help me on my journey. My overall muscle strength and tone has increased; my muscle-to-blubber ratio has improved, and I feel more alive. Having been a runner, jogger, biker, cross-country skier, hockey player, racquetball, and tennis player from my early teens until five years ago when I slipped on a strip of snow covered in ice and shattered my left tibia and fibula, requiring screws, a wheelchair, crutches for six months, and a year of intensive physical therapy, I’m beginning to feel like a real human again. Zoë was certainly great, both as a coach and in her concern for my goals, keeping me focused, motivated, confident, and safe. Her personality and attention to helping me achieve my goals is second to none."

Dan Colacula

"The past four years have been challenging with several unexpected but necessary surgeries to keep me alive. Given there were many restrictions, my strength, endurance, motivation, and enjoyment took a hard hit. Once my husband encouraged me to go back into the gym (not my favorite thing to do, though). I asked to meet with Zoë prior to making any commitments to share my limitations and concerns with getting back into the ring. She listened attentively, and once I started training, Zoë modified any exercises as needed for me to ensure I was doing the best I could be doing. She always kept cognizant of form. Though working out is not my favorite thing to do, I’m making it a priority to get it done. Without having a scheduled appointment, it would be easy for me to skip it. I can tell that I’m getting stronger and have more endurance throughout the day. There’s always room for improvement and growth with everything we do. I’m just glad to be on the right course once again. Most definitely, I would recommend Zoë. She is willing to work with your needs and is not a cookie-cutter trainer. One size does not fit all. Thank you, Zoë, for getting me back on track to staying healthy."

Annette Solverson

"I found that as I’m aging, I’m losing my balance and my strength. I want that back. Zoë is amazing. She is SO devoted to helping me along my healthcare journey and has always been an encourager. Both my strength and my balance have improved significantly. I am fighting arthritis, so both are very important in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Perhaps the most memorable moment was the first time I could walk, putting one foot in front of the other without falling over. I’m not fighting arthritis flares as often, and my strength and balance have significantly increased due to Zoë’s excellent training. I’m currently experiencing a bad arthritis flare in my hands and fingers, but once that clears up, I know I’ll be able to get back to some weight training. I would 100% recommend Zoë. She is a dedicated, committed, and very knowledgeable trainer. She is always encouraging and motivating!"
